Modeling Autoregressive Conditional Skewness and Kurtosis with Multi-Quantile CAViaR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Engle and Manganelli (2004) propose CAViaR, a class of models suitable for estimating conditional quantiles in dynamic settings. Engle and Manganelli apply their approach to the estimation of Value at Risk, but this is only one of many possible applications. Here we extend CAViaR models to permit joint modeling of multiple quantiles, Multi-Quantile (MQ) CAViaR. We apply our new methods to estimate measures of conditional skewness and kurtosis de ned in terms of conditional quantiles, analogous to the unconditional quantile-based measures of skewness and kurtosis studied by Kim and White (2004). We investigate the performance of our methods by simulation, and we apply MQ-CAViaR to study conditional skewness and kurtosis of S&P 500 daily returns. Keywords: Asset returns; CAViaR; Conditional quantiles; Dynamic quantiles; Kurtosis; Skewness. JEL classi cations: C13, C32.

CAViaR: Conditional Autoregressive Value at Risk by Regression Quantiles
Value at risk (VaR) is the standard measure of market risk used by financial institutions. Interpreting the VaR as the quantile of future portfolio values conditional on current information, the conditional autoregressive value at risk (CAViaR) model specifies the evolution of the quantile over time using an autoregressive process and estimates the parameters with regression quantiles. Utilizin...
متن کاملAn Example on Modelling Conditional Higher Moments using Maximum Entropy Density with High Frequency Data
Since the introduction of the Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model of Engle (1982), the literature of modelling the conditional second moment has become increasingly popular in the last two decades. This popularity is reflected by the numerous volatility models being proposed in the literature and their multivariate counterparts (see McAleer (2005) for an excellent survey ...
متن کاملModeling Asymmetry and Excess Kurtosis in Stock Return Data
This paper develops a exible parametric approach to capture asymmetry and excess kurtosis along with conditional heteroskedasticity with a general family of distributions for analyzing stock returns data. Engle's (1982) autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (ARCH) model and its various generalizations can account for many of the stylized facts, such as fat tails and volatility clustering. ...

In this paper, we propose a multivariate quantile regression method which enables localized analysis on conditional quantiles and global comovement analysis on conditional ranges for high-dimensional data. The proposed method, hereafter referred to as FActorisable Sparse Tail Event Curves, or FASTEC for short, exploits the potential factor structure of multivariate conditional quantiles through...
متن کاملConditional risk measurement using conditional higher order moments: a dynamic application of the skew t-distribution
This paper presents a parsimonious approach to estimating conditional skewness and kurtosis, as well as conditional variance, in financial log-returns time series. Using a GARCH formulation of the skew t-distribution (Jones and Faddy, 2003), autoregressive relationships are developed for the conditional skewness and conditional kurtosis. A numerical example indicates that allowing for estimates...
